VISIT THE TANK MUSEUM

10 years and it only gets better. It had been 10 years since I'd visited last and even though I am no longer a child I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the tank museum. There are plenty of exhibits to see and get up close with and some interactive displays around the museum also. Defiantly worth a visit. I stayed for around 2 - 3 hours which was plenty of time to have some food and wander around the entire museum. I visited on a wednesday so the crowds were fairly quiet. All the staff i had interacted with were friendly and welcoming. I paid £39.10 for two tickets and have been told they're yearly admission tickets which n was pleased to find out.

Not just for history buffs A masterclass in military history! The collection at Bovington is unparalleled, featuring everything from the earliest prototype tanks to modern marvels like the Challenger 2. Seeing the world's only working Tiger 131 is a highlight.
The exhibits are immersive, well-paced, and incredibly moving, especially the "Trench Experience." It’s spacious, family-friendly, and the knowledgeable staff's passion is infectious.

First visit to Tank Museum First visit as part of my birthday and can’t wait to go back again. Display is amazing and so much history to each exhibit on display. A must to visit.

Very good use of 3 hours with the kids Very impressed. It was a last minute decision as we had passed it on route to somewhere else and my daughter said we should go, so on the way back we popped in for a couple of hours.
Really interesting stories and plenty of interactive elements for the kids

Perfect day out I live around a 15 minute drive away and it’s one of the best places near me! I first visited with my little boy when he was about 18 months old and I honestly couldn’t tell you how many times we’ve been in the 2 years since then. He absolutely loves it, we were visiting once a week for a little while. The facilities are great with plenty to do from the soft play to the various hands on activities. The annual pass is brilliant, and it’s the perfect day out if it’s raining. My son loves it so much that even though we go quite frequently, he still asked if he could go there for his birthday too!

Well worth the visit. We have been meaning to visit for some time and are so glad we did. A fabulous well laid out and informative exhibition. I think there was a good balance for those with little knowledge and those with a lot. Breaking the space up into distinct zones was a good way to switch between subject areas. We appreciated the technical aspect of the tanks being interwoven with the human factor. Uncomfortable at times but an important acknowledgement and respect given to those that pay the ultimate sacrifice.

Great place A brilliant exhibition. 3 hours here not enough. Amazing place

Fantastic day out for all! Fantastic place to visit!
So many different tanks from different campaigns. Well laid out in the various themed halls, many with actual battle scars and all with information boards telling you the history of the model and often of that particular tank. Free talks are given on certain topics at various times and there is a gaming zone for the kids.
I used my mobility scooter and there wasn’t anywhere that I couldn’t go, including all around most individual tanks. Ramps and an elevator also make things easy. There is lots of toilets around, including some just inside the entry doors, just what you need after a car journey!
The cafe has a good selection of food, snacks and larger meals plus drinks etc, all of them reasonably priced too.
The obligatory shop at the exit has an enormous selection of models of the tanks, plus tons of other toys/t-shirts/books etc.
We were there over 4 hours and we didn’t see everything, including the conservation centre across the car park, however your entry ticket gives you an annual pass (excluding special event days) so you can go back and pick up where you left off for free.
It’s well signposted with a massive car park too, with loads of disabled parking right outside the door.

What a Great Day Out! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Tank Museum - so interesting and lots to see. Very good value for money with a nice restaurant and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
